Scenario
You have been asked to give a poster presentation based around your work and research on a clinical problem in your practice setting. The purpose is to lay out the evidence and a potential implementation plan to your colleagues in order to bridge the gap between the evidence and the practice to improve the quality and outcomes of care.
Instructions

Your Implementation Plan should include the following:
Background on the clinical problem.
PICOT question.
Stakeholders that will be impacted.
Action plan for implementation.
Potential barriers to project implementation.
Baseline data that will be needed to evaluate outcomes.

The tools or resources that will be needed to support the project.
Identify the stakeholders and potential barriers to project implementation.
Who are the stakeholders that will be impacted?
What are the potential barriers, such as a lack of knowledge, time, skill level, motivation, or resources that could impact project implementation?
Propose outcome criteria to evaluate the evidence-based practice project.
How will outcomes be measured?
How do your outcomes align with the Quadruple Aim?
Evaluate the evidence that supports the need for practice change.
In the notes section of your poster presentation:

Before starting to record your presentation make sure you have:
Set up and tested your microphone and headset using the installation instructions provided by the manufacturer. You only need to use the headset if your audio is not clear or high quality when captured by the microphone.
Practice using the equipment to ensure the audio quality is sufficient.
Consult Using Kaltura for guidance on how to record your presentation and upload it in the courseroom.
Microsoft PowerPoint also allows you to record your narration with your slides. If you choose this option, simply submit your presentation to the appropriate area of the courseroom. Your narration will be included with your stories.
Remember to practice delivering and recording your presentation multiple times to ensure effective delivery.
